   I can't believe just how much they put into this. When I got to Rivendell I was awed. It's breathtaking.
   
   For me this is the peak of Traveler's Tales Lego series. Beautiful to look at, fun to play, awesome music, great modeling, lots of secrets and extras....if you like LOTR you MUST get this game. Even if you don't, it's a great game in it's own right. PS I am playing with an Xbox 350 controller (USB version) on the PC, I think that may be the best way to experience it... well done Traveler's Tales.… Expand

The replayability is great and the character roster is epic.… Expand

While the mandatory children LEGO jokes (which are really funny) are present, there are a few references little ones won't understand. I like the fact that it faithfully follows the movie trilogy, along with its epic music, cast's performances and visuals. Yes, indeed, LEGO Lord of The Rings has amazing visuals! The variety of characters and gameplay present here is overwhelming, and the replay value is undisputed. The only reason I haven't given it a 10 is the fact that the keyboard controls are simply horrible (I think it's virtually impossible to play this game with it's lack of mouse input). Thank God it has Gamepad support! Amazing job as always, Traveler's Tale!… Expand

   It is hard to find better games for local co-op than LEGO games. And from all the LEGO games this one is my favorite.

   You will probably think: this one is just a Lord of The Rings fan. I am, but I don't think it is the reason I like this game. At least not the only one.
   A lot of us likes the open world game. Gathering collectibles, doing side quests and exploring the world. But for me, this was for most of the time a very lone experience. Of course, my wife was sitting somewhere nearby while I was playing, but LEGO LoTR lets you play an open world game in co-op mode. We had a ton of fun completing this title.
   Another reason is that this game is just fun to play. I enjoy playing hard games but from time to time, you just want to have pure, relaxing fun in a digital world. With minimal difficulty.
   And the last reason - I am a Lord of the Rings fan. So seeing the LEGO figures doing silly stuff while saying real quotes from the movies was just hilarious.
   One thing to mention with all the games, that with more and more characters "powers" it becomes a game of choosing the right character for the right spot. There could more mechanics to it than that. I always see that as a wasted opportunity for adding new mechanics.
   If you have someone to play with - It is a fun way to spend some time. Or buy it for your kid and share with him your love for the franchise.… Expand

   The best adaptation of the franchise. despite beign full of Lego humor it´s still more loyal to the three movies than the games of theThe best adaptation of the franchise. despite beign full of Lego humor it´s still more loyal to the three movies than the games of the Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and Return of the King. the open world aspect of the game fits Middle Earth and helps the immersion. The level design its creative and they adapt almost everything in the movies. locations like Rivendell, Osgiliath, Cirith Ungol, Minas Tirith, Minas Morgul, Moria, Helm´s Deep, Isengard, Caradhras, Fangorn Forest, Amon Hen ect are present. Almost every event in the tree movies is also in the game. every character that you can imagine of the movies it´s unlockable. They dare themselves to do everything that the other games where afraid to do like giving us a boss fight with the Balrog of Moria. They went so far adapting the movies that they even expanded it making the fight while you are falling. just an amazing and epic game.… Expand

But for every inspired level, there are 3 more than are basically platformer jump/hit/smash and repeat 3 times. I struggled in places to get to the end, not because of any difficulty, just it was repetitive and simple and a bit boring. Overall enjoyable, but I would have liked to have seen the open environment used more, it really does look good and they put some nice touches in there, and a wider array of quests. But the actual gameplay was linear and dull for lots of it. Recommended still to play, but it's entertainment value goes up and down too much.… Expand
